How can I enter the CDE login

[yuzy]

Hi,

In our B132 Workstation running HP-UX 10.20,
When we try to startup the workstation, cannot enter to CDE
login windows, How can I do?

But the infomation on the display:

Resuming Desktop Login...
The X-server can not be started on display sjtu:0...
Suspending Desktop Login...
Press [Enter] for a login prompt
Log in. Desktop login will resume shortly after you log out.

Thanks and Regards.

There could be some files missing or
maybe you monitor is a text term!
You may either need to reinstall CDE
or find the error

You want to look at the Xerrors file
and the syslog to find out exactly what
the error is. Check your home directory.
ls -la

also have a look around in /var/dt/
for anything strange.

Did it work before.. what changed?

Later,
Bill

Hi yuzy,

You should log in through the console, and have a look at /var/dt/Xerrors, which should be a good starting point.

Besides, you could run /usr/contrib/bin/X11/dr_dt, and watch its output.

Sometimes, it may happen that your mouse isn't properly plugged, thus preventing X from starting, but this might be more complex in your case (e.g. fonts which cannot be read because of bad permissions on fonts.dir...). In all cases, start looking at /var/dt/Xerrors.

I hope this helps.

Best regards.

Fred.
